Chapter Thirteen

Leah

“A bit overdramatic, don’t you think? I mean, the whole ‘spooky witch’ thing, really?”

Leah allowed the purple magic swirling around her to fade as she left her magically projected form and returned to the balcony with Queen Eckert. She rolled her eyes at her older sister.

“Kids these days expect everything to be a bit dramatic. It’s how they see the world. Besides, I think I did a great job.” Leah flipped her long, dark hair behind her head. “They were second-guessing themselves on the stairs. I guess I did make it a bit too easy for them to escape. I’ll have to remember that for next time. But look at them run! It’s a bit amusing, you have to admit.”

Leah looked out over the balcony attached to the rest of the palace. The secret stairwell she had encouraged Jack and Abigail to escape through let out into the palace’s back garden. Both witch and queen were given the perfect view of a bleeding Jack and Abigail making their way through the garden and to the rear gate. The soldiers who were normally on duty were still there. It would give the two a better sense of satisfaction that they had actually evaded capture if they were chased a few blocks into the city.

“And you’re sure they’ll lead us to Sloan?” The queen followed her sister’s gaze to the retreating figures. “Remember—”

“I know, I know.” Leah took her eyes off Jack and Abigail’s backs. “Captain Charlotte Sloan is to be captured alive. What you see in that girl is beyond me, but I must admit, if the reports on her escape are true and she is as strong and as fast as they say she is, then she’ll make a great test subject.”

“No, Sloan is not to become one of your pets.” The queen motioned for her younger sister to follow as she made her way into the palace. “You have enough anyway. Reassure me that we didn’t just let those two escape.”

“Don’t worry.” Leah followed her sister through the palace halls and to one of the many other outside balconies. “I have them being tracked now and they’ll lead us to the others. In fact, we might have already found them. There are reports coming in from a small city called Term that might prove to be your rogue captain and her pet wolf.”

“Good. Continue to monitor the situation and let me know if you find anything worthwhile.” Queen Eckert stopped in front of another pair of double doors that would lead out to a balcony that faced the front of the palace. “I have a little surprise for you, dear sister.”

Leah Noble rubbed her hands together in glee. She tried to get a peek through the windows in the door, but all she could see was the rising sun on the horizon. She looked at her sister up and down for an explanation.

The queen wore clothing as different from her own as the darkness was to the day. Leah Noble was dressed in a long, black dress with a low-cut top void of sleeves.
